Em               D/E      Em           Em/D  
On a gray April morning as the chilling wind blew, 
    C7M                                     Am7         B7sus   B7/D# 
A thousand dark promises were about to come true; 
     Em     D/E          Em                 Em/D     
As Satan stood trembling knowing now he had lost, 
          C7M                                       Am7    Bsus   B7   Em 
As the Lamb took His first step on the way to the cross! 


Am7        D B7/D#    Em    D/E  Em   
This must be the Lamb: 
          Am7         D  B7/D#      Em 
the fullfillment of all God has spoken! 
Am7        D B7/D#      Em  D/E   Em        
This must be the Lamb:  
         Am7       Am7/C         Bsus      B/D# 
not a single bone will be broken! 
           Am7            Bm7  B7/D#  Em   D/F# G    
Like a sheep to the slaughter so silently still,  
Am7                             Em 
This must be the Lamb!  
 
(verse 2) 
Em                       D/E      Em         Em/D         
They mocked His true calling and laughed at His fate, 
     C7M                                      Am7     B7sus    B7/D# 
So glad to see the Gentle One consumed by their hate, 
      Em       D/E        Em        Em/D            
Unaware of the wind and the darkening sky, 
     C7M                               Am7         Bsus      B7   Em 
So blind to the fact that it was God limping by!

(verse3) 
Em                 D/E        Em             Em/D          
The poor women weeping at what seemed a great loss, 
C7M                                  Am7          B7sus  B7/D# 
Trembling in fear there at the foot of the cross, 
      Em       D/E       Em         Em/D         
Tormented by memories that came like a flood, 
      C7M                                     Am7        Bsus   B7   Em 
Unaware that their pardon must be bought with His blood!
